OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services says that of 390 prisoners who have or will be released between June 10 and Aug. 31, more than two dozen had miscalculated release dates.
Prisons director Scott Frakes said Friday that of the 29 miscalculations, 23 had been given so-called "good time" credit they should not have received and saw their sentences lengthened. The maximum number of credits reversed was 21 days.
Frakes says six did not receive credits they should have gotten. All six saw their sentences shortened by three days.
Nebraska's corrections department announced last month that it was reviewing 2,000 prisoner sentences for accuracy after discovering that some inmates received credit they shouldn't have.
